Food is super important, and so are the farmer's that grow it, but the ag business is manipulated and floated by big government so much so, it's hard to understand some of the real costs. It's also a great topic to have conversations over to help show the real effects of government intervention. Joining me this week is hog farmer, and cheap beer connoisseur, the Farmarchist!

Welcome to 2021! And welcome to our first guest of the year, Geoff Wacker. Geoff is a chicken guy. He grows a lot of chickens, but doesn't put them all in his own freezer. I talked to Geoff about what he does with all his "extra" chickens, why he does it, and hopefully it can encourage everyone to get out there and share a bit with their own community.

This weeks guest is the illustrious Brett Veinotte of the School Sucks Project. Brett has been building the School Sucks Project community for over a decade now, and has a wealth of information and experiences to share. Today's episode ended up being more of a dual-interview than a traditional Homesteads and Homeschools interview, but that only made it more fun.

And as Linnea said, once you get your personal life cleaned up, you move onto other aspects of your life, and for her, that means greening up their vet clinic. They are constantly on the lookout to make their practice greener, and have started building a new clinic that will run on solar.

For some, peaceful parenting can seem a bit exotic, and almost impossible to achieve, for others, it's just a form of laziness, and for those that practice it, it can become the facilliator of a beautiful relationship between parents and children, while setting those children up for great success in the future. Take a listen and see how peaceful parenting can benefit not just your children, but you.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, a fabulous Boxing Day and are gearing up for a splendid New Year's Day.
Just your sunsetting.

Hemp is often touted as a miracle crop with countless applications for all; in the last few years it has quickly gained notoriety in the health world, but still faces strict legislative controls that make it all but impossible to grow despite being "legal." Today's guest, Ted Metz, came on the show to talk more about the industrial uses of hemp than the medicinal side. We discussed the many uses of hemp in industry and also some of the health effects hemp has on the natural world. Hemp is a beautiful product that can help make the world a "greener" place, and it is imperative that the legislative constrictions be released.

Farming is hard work. Dairy farming might be even harder. Today's guest is Andrew Kern, a former dairy farmer. Andrew grew up on a dairy farm and even went into the dairy business with his father for a number of years. He recently sold his cows and is looking to move onto other pastures. We talked about what it was like milking 80 cows daily and why he decided to get out of the business, as well as how someone might want to get into the dairy industry.

Vegetarians and vegans often believe their diets are healthier for the environment, and help promote animal rights. This isn't always the case. Often these diets consist of highly processed products from the industrial agricultural complex that only help promote the monoculture thousands of acres. In episode 35, we talk to Kate Kavanaugh, a former vegetarian who made the transition to an omnivorous diet and became a butcher, eventually opening her own butcher shop - Western Daughters Butcher Shoppe - in Colorado. We talked about how Kate came to make this transition, regenerative farming pracatices, and what makes Western Daughters so unique.

Mike and his wife grew up around gardens and farms so when they found a place to settle down, of course they started their own garden. Over the years the garden has grown to include a market garden and some sheep. Recently, they were even able to add some adjoining acreage to grow their homestead even bigger with fruit trees and more gardens. We talked a bit about their decision to homeschool their children, and one of Mike's hobbies that has turned into a side business: roasting coffee!
